Underrange Immediate underrange indicates that the broadband sound level is below
the lower limit of the Linear Operating Range and is indicated separately for
the two selectable frequency weightings and for the two channels
(Type 2270 only).
Immediate underrange is only indicated on the screen. No underrange
information is saved with the final result of the measurement.
In case of an underrange indication (2-channel measurements, High Range
only), change to Low Range.
The underrange indication is implemented as required by ISO 61672–1:2013
and does not account for the influence of self-generated noise from the
microphone because the specifications for the lower limit of the Linear
Operating Range apply for measurements of electrical signal inserted into
the preamplifier through the applicable input device. This makes the
underrange indication a dubious indicator of the quality of the measurement,
especially on the more sensitive ranges.
Example 1: Und. A – Immediate underrange for the A-weighted levels
Example 2: U1 AC – Immediate underrange in channel 1 for the A- and
C-weighted levels

Z-weighting: ‘Zero’ frequency weighting is without any frequency weighting, that is,
equivalent to Linear, LIN or FLAT.
